    Zenney:

    As I read the thread, I was actually thinking, "Now this might be one place where PV kilts suffer some." Being in Houston, we really don't have winter, but when, on my travels, I've had the chance to encounter cold weather, I've gone with 13 or 16 ounce wool kilts. I'm pretty sure even a USAK casual, however, provides good insulation, and I know you don't get much "whistle through" from the wind.

    And if you want/need something warmer, why, that's just a reason to get another kilt!

    I've worn my USAK casual in Western Maryland in February on Kaiser's Ridge (the Eastern continental divide) with temps in the 20F range and 20-30 mph blowing snow and been fine except for my knees and nose.
